sin(3x) = sin(2x + x) sin(3x) = sin(2x)cos(x) + cos(2x)sin(x) sin(3x) = sin(x+x)cos(x) + cos(x+x)sin(x) sin(3x) = [sin(x)cos(x) + cos(x)sin(x)]cos(x) + [cos(x)cos(x) - sin(x)sin(x)]sin(x) sin(3x) = [2cos(x)sin(x)]cos(x) + [cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)]sin(x) sin(3x) = 2cos^2(x)sin(x) + cos^2(x)sin(x) - sin^3(x) Do the same to find cos(3x)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm using the identities sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y) + cos(x)sin(y) cos(x+y) = cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sry i should have gone further sin(3x) = 3cos^2(x)sin(x) - sin^3(x)

im confused can you tell me what the answer is so i can check if i got it right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hold on one sec

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

checking the answer, but the second one doesn't seem right, but one sec

ok thank you

well using a graphing calculator, I was able to eliminate choices A through C so that leaves D
